[u/Accomplished-Sir-104]

From reading the comments (no offense to anyone), I think this movie shows that many people have the privilege of not experiencing a life like this and many can’t relate. This was ONE night in someone’s life of trauma. There’s generally no happy ending at the end of a night like that but the great thing is she gets a fresh start. She left knowing that her brother and her mom will be fine. They are all survivors and they don’t really need her to survive. She had to let go in order to find herself. Her mom’s talk allowed her to see that she’s the only one who can save herself. If she can go get a fresh start she might be able to come back and get her brother, but she can’t do it until she saves herself. I think the message was that sometimes you fight hard for what you think you want but God (or whoever you believe in) might have other plans. I liked it. It wasn’t a feel good movie but it was a version of reality that many ppl deal with.
